Perimeter and Area

Here are some pictures of a fun game we played in class today.  I try to make review before the big tests fun.  I had thought about doing this with geoboards originally then decided I wanted them to be able to work out the perimeter and area on the paper next to the shapes they had drawn so instead decided to do it on the graph paper.   The kids had to make a square or a rectangle with a given perimeter.  Then they had to figure the area of each of the shapes they drew.  Then they got points based on the area.

For example: Draw a square or rectangle with a perimeter of of 20.

                      Earn one point if your area is greater than your partners.
